{SEND-GHANA,Ghana,Full-Time,GH,N/A,N/A,30 Jun-2015};

SEND – GHANA is the oldest of the three affiliate national NGOs (i.e. SEND-Liberia and SEND Sierra Leone) establishedby the Social Enterprise Development of Foundation of West Africa ( SEND West Africa). SEND West Africa was founded in Ghana in August, 1998 to promote livelihood security, equality of women and men and accountable and transparent governance. The target groups of SEND’s programs are mostly women, youth and farmers in conflict prone , resource poor and difficult to reach communities in each country.

Job Summary

Consultancy to Conduct a Nutrition Assessment among Farm Families in 8 Districts in the Eastern Corridor of Northern Ghana

Terms of Reference

Background

•   The Canadian Co-operative Association (CCA) in partnership with SEND-Ghana and the Ghana Credit Unions Association (CUA) Ltd is implementing a five year Food Security Through Cooperatives In Northern Ghana (FOSTERING) project which is aimed at increasing sustainable, gender equitable food security for over 42,000 women and men in eight districts in the Eastern Corridor of Northern Ghana (East Gonja, Kpandai, Nanumba South, Nanumba North, Krachi-Nchumuru, Zabzugu, Tatale-Sangule and Chereponi).
•   The project integrates nutrition training as a key intervention strategy to promote food security. Farm families are trained in the cultivation and utilization of soya beans for food fortification to boost household consumption as a way of supporting families to improve the nutrition status of families particularly children under 5 and pregnant and lactating mothers. Training is also conducted for cooperative households on food safety and hygiene as well as de-worming for children under five. The project works closely with Ghana Health Services and Community Volunteer Health and Nutrition Agents (CHNAs) at the district level to deliver nutrition sensitive training and education and de-worming exercises in the target communities. The CHNAs are also supported to monitor the children and women in households to measure progress with regards to their nutrition status
•   The project also recognizes that dietary diversity is an important consideration for improving household nutrition especially for pregnant and lactating women and children. While most households in the Eastern Corridor rely on starchy foods including cassava and yams as well as cereals (maize and rice) in their diets, protein and other essential nutrients are lacking. Children, pregnant and lactating mothers need a balanced diet that consists of the right proportions of carbohydrates, proteins and vitamins for good mental and physical development. The current focus of the project addresses only the protein and energy needs of beneficiaries. There is however diverse food sources in the communities to ensure dietary diversity among farm families which have not been promoted or underutilized. These need to be identified and included in the training guide. It is for this reason that the FOSTERING Project seeks the services of a nutrition specialist to support identifying and inform the project on how to support farm families to diversify their dietary intake at the household level.

Goal and objectives of the Nutrition Assessment

•   The main goal of the assignment is to conduct a nutrition assessment on nutritional status and dietary intake among farm families, particularly children under 5, pregnant and lactating mothers and outline pragmatic recommendations.

•   To examine factors associated with dietary intake, including food security among farm families in the eastern corridor.
•   To recommend anthropometric measures for measuring nutritional status of farm families
•   To recommend best methodologies/strategies on how to deliver nutrition messages (education) to farm families
